So I’ll get started on the HCG diet business next, but for now I thought I’d start off with a Happy Thanksgiving for you all! After experiencing your very own Thanksgiving Day you have to see my logic in making sure that Thanksgiving was one of the “loading” days for my HCG Diet. It fit in perfectly with the HCG protocol for weight loss. And I didn’t feel deprived on the food focused holiday. (Far from it…I was stuffed!)
This morning I weighed myself (nothing interesting; same as yesterday). I took my drops right after I weighed myself and then (after 15 minutes) had a cinnamon roll. Then I had another. It is a loading day after all. There’s not really very many days in the life of a normal individual (over the age of 14) when a sane person can actually rationalize more than one cinnamon roll in one sitting; so that was fun.
The family was expecting me to bring an apple pie to the big Thanksgiving gathering so I got started on it right away to make sure it would be done in time. (I peeled about a million apples for Mile High Apple Pie). I also had as many spiced apples as I wanted during the process since I was supposed to be eating a lot of high calorie, high fat foods as possible during my “loading” day. There were plenty of other “holiday” foods sitting around that fell right in line with the HCG protocol for weight loss “loading” requirement so the day went along quite smoothly.
When I was reading the booklet that came along with the HCG products I remember a list of common errors that decrease the amount of weight loss even if people think they are following the HCG protocol for weight loss. One of them was that people don’t load enough high calorie, high fat foods during the first two “loading” days. Evidently it leads to increased hunger, crankiness and headaches during the diet.
I don’t think I’ll need any help being cranky or hungry and who wants to have headaches? So I’m really glad that Thanksgiving ensured I had plenty of high fat, high calorie food on hand. I am positive that I fulfilled the loading requirements quite nicely.
Basically I’ve found the HCG protocol for weight loss easy so far; but loading is probably far easier than limiting myself to 500 calories so I’ve got to stop congratulating myself! Regardless…Happy Thanksgiving! And wish me luck starting the next phase tomorrow…

With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
